 Hi Everyone, I hope you had a super weekend! It did warm up a little, but we are going  back into the deep freeze with some very cold windchills again. Please make sure your are dressed for the weather. It would be a good idea to have an extra pair of mittens and socks in your bookbag.   Phys.Ed Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Spell-A-Thon We had our Spell-A-Thon on Friday. Any student who was absent will write their test on Monday. Pledge sheets with the spelling test will go home on Monday, so pledge money can be collected. All money is due back on Friday February 27th. Thank you for your support with this fundraiser.    Math We are finishing up our unit on Addition and Subtraction to 18. Keep working on those strategies, as they will help with adding and subtraction.    Pink Shirt Day Friday February 25th is Pink Shirt Day. Staff and students are asked to wear pink to help stand up to bullying.      Class Project With Texas Austin S., Cecilia and Nevaeh did an awesome job as the reporters and poetry reader. We had lots of weather news to tell our friends about. They are amazed with the snow we keep getting. We visited our tulip garden and measured 75 cm of snow on it! We couldn't believe the news that they told us. Their tulips have bloomed!!  Homework   Homework for the week is listed in the orange folders. Our spelling words this week focus on the /ay/ vowel sound. Please make sure you read each night and record it on your log sheet.     Library Our library day is on Wednesday. Don't forget your book.   100th Day Of School Thursday February 26th will be our 100th Day Of School. We have been counting the days since the first day of school.
